If there's one thing there's no shortage of in London, it's things to do. The one thing I was really, really looking forward to though, was enjoying my first real West End musical.:) :)

Of course, I had to watch one of the classics - Les Misérables:

Now I am no longer a West End virgin. *lol*....

It was actually pretty packed inside that night, despite being a week night AND the show having run for about 24 years (such a long time!):

I sat in the upper tier.....

Ooh, it's starting! :) :)

Les Miserables - a dramatic story of love in the time of revolution.....

I couldn't take any photos while the show was on but I definitely enjoyed the experience - it's a classic story with love, death and lots of singing. :)

I just wish I could have afforded a slightly nicer seat because the (cheap) one I was at was kinda far from the stage so I couldn't really see clearly....

Anyway, I ended up catching another musical while I was there - just couldn't miss the new hit, Wicked:

Wicked!.....

My goodness, it was packed to the brim!:

Wah so many people.....

So cool, there's even a moving dragon on top of the stage!:

Sings, "ROAR"

I actually splurged for nicer (in other words, more expensive *sigh*) tickets for this show and did not regret it one bit - loved the show, LOVED it. (Interesting storyline - an unusual twist on the Wizard of Oz, great songs, and the lead actress had an amazing voice!)

Oh man, I just wish I had more time (and money!)... There are so many great musicals in London but I had to limit myself to 2 during my visit there. I just hope I can visit again soon so that I can scratch a few more off my "Want to watch!" list. :)

to thule a.k.a leo:It will be the perfect destination to bring Jenn for a romantic second honeymoon, don't you think so? :)(Thanks for the encouragement - actually, I was afraid I'll be boring all of you. Just that I love reading ppls travels so I thought I will share mine too!)

to "Joe" who is constantly craving:Yeah. *sigh*I think the nearest they've ever come is Singapore.... :((Altho, I think Annie came to KL once, many many moons ago....)
